In light of the pending cold weather I thought I would share one of my favorite places in the Twin Cities. On Saturday Jan 10th Jeff and I met up with Char at Vickie’s place and we all went to Como Park conservatory. We had lunch at the cafeteria before wondering around the lush, green and warm greenhouse filled with tropical plants and flowers. The sunken garden is still planted with Poinsettias for the holiday display, but it will soon be switched over to spring blooming bulbs.
There are so many different kinds of orchids. In the orchid house there are 800 different varieties. They switch the plants out around the gardens as they bloom. There is a great range of colors and sizes; beautiful.
I think Vickie and Char make great butterflies. And although it’s a great disguise, Ridley is a frightening tiger.
What a great place to spend a cold January afternoon and how convenient that Vickie lives so close. This is a great place to hang out no matter what season.
Keep warm....
